October 2021: We’re celebrating Stephen King
With over 350 million copies of his books sold worldwide, he’s been crowned the king of horror – and we feel like that needs to be celebrated! October will get a little creepier at the NCPL as we devote a whole month of programs to the one and only Stephen King. We hope you will join us – if you dare!

He’ll lead us on a scenic tour of Colorado, the backdrop for Stephen King’s books The Stand, The Shining, Misery, and Dr. Sleep. Through colorful slides and entertaining commentary, attendees will learn more about King’s stories and his thoughts on writing. Rossman will also share some of the behind-the-scenes details of King’s most notable books and movies.
